Rod and Reel for Kayak fishing

[mzaakir]

Hi Guys,

I've just purchased a kayak and going to be targeting kingfish, small tuna, mackeral, snapper and reef fish.

I own a small 2500 combo that I use for bream, flathead and whiting but need a bigger combo for the bigger fish.

My budget is around $200-$250aud.

I was thinking an ugly stik but need suggestions on the rod and a reel. I was also thinking trying to snag a bargain of facebook marketplace  but would prefer brand new.

Do you have any suggestions on a rod and reel around $200-250 aud?

 

Thanks

Hi there, welcome to the form.

Maybe @longhairedwahoo will see this post, i know he does this sort of fishing.

If he doesn't see this here are some of his topics that might have the answers you're looking for.

I'd probably grab a Penn feirce and an ugly stick with that kind of budget. 

Although for the fish you mentioned I'd increase the budget somewhat and get a stradic 5000 reel and an ugly stick in The 8kg range.

I saw a zerek jigging rod and a stradic 4000 in brand new condition for $300!!! might have to increase budget to get it.

 

Thanks for all the support

That would be pretty much perfect.
